President William Ruto has commended the newly graduated Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) Rangers, emphasizing their role as protectors of Kenya's rich natural resources and heritage.

Speaking at the passing-out parade for 1,274 rangers in Manyani, Taita Taveta, on December 3, 2024, Ruto urged them to serve with courage and patriotism.



"Always remember that you are the guardians of Kenya’s natural wealth, custodians of our national heritage, and stewards of our shared responsibility to future generations. I urge you to carry out your duties with dedication, courage, and patriotism,” he said.


The President encouraged the rangers to pursue transformative actions that would inspire future generations and leave a lasting legacy.


“As you build your careers marked by heroic achievements, strive to perform bold, imaginative, and transformative deeds that will inspire many in this generation and the generations to come," he added.

Ruto stressed the importance of wisdom in their work, reminding them that the nation's natural treasures are a legacy to be preserved for future generations.


“Let wisdom guide you that this earth and nation are not ours alone. They are a cherished legacy passed down from generations past and trusted to us to safeguard for those yet to come. In our time, let us commit to acts that will secure an honorable place in the annals of history,” he said.

He also called on all stakeholders, including the government, communities, and partners, to work together to maintain Kenya’s global reputation for excellence in wildlife conservation.

Ruto highlighted Kenya’s remarkable progress in anti-poaching efforts, noting significant milestones like zero rhino poaching cases in 2020 and the thriving populations of key species.


“Today, Kenya proudly boasts Africa’s third-largest rhino population, with 2,004 rhinos, and the fourth-largest elephant population, with 37,000 elephants. These figures are not just statistics - they are a testament to hope, hard work, and collective action in safeguarding our natural heritage,” he stated.

He concluded by applauding KWS for their relentless efforts in protecting Kenya’s wildlife and ensuring the nation’s conservation success.
